Stamkos Out Indefinitely After Leg Break

((HT: NHL))

And his status with Team Canada for the Sochi games in February is in serious question...

Here's what happened to create a tibia fracture and have the NHL star out for a while...

"At this point Steven will be out indefinitely," Lightning GM Steve Yzerman said in a statement. "The medical staff in Boston, in consultation with our team physicians, has made the decision to surgically repair the injury. The procedure is expected to take place tomorrow morning. The biggest concern for me, and the rest of the Lightning, is that decisions are made in Steven's best long-term interest, and we feel this is the appropriate course of action."
